350z Sail Panel fix...
Right, so when I did my sound system a few years ago, I was a little careless and while I was enlarging the tweeter hole to fit my new tweeters, I took off a little too much plastic on certain areas. I could buy new sail panels but that would be $33x2. Not too bad but still, does anyone know of a place I could get small black plastic flat rings where the inside diameter is 1" (tweeter size) and the ring part is say... 3mm? That way I could put the ring down before inserting the tweeter, and the ring would cover up the lovely botched job I did...
Not sure what a ring like that would be called... anybody know?
(I googled black plastic o-ring 1" opening, found a bunch of stuff but it's all "nickel plastic" and shiny...)

You don't need to do that. Just use a two part 'rigid plastic repair' kit (3M), and treat it like bodywork. I molded my Massive CK6 tweeters right into the sail panels, and retained the 'eyeball' adjustability of the tweeter housing (the tweeter can be moved both up and down and left/right to fine tune the sound stage). Once I moulded the tweeter housing into the sail panel, I sprayed it with textured black paint for plastic...turned out perfect:

In my Z however I went totally stealth and found a tweeter (JL Audio C2s) that fit behind the pillar (in the original factory location) perfectly.
